Keynote speaker on GEO and AI search: make your brand visible in AI
I take GEO to the stage and into the boardroom: keynotes that make AI search tangible, and confidential advisory for the decisions that follow. Booked at Digital Bash and Corporate Influencer Day, and a regular podcast guest.

Why do conferences book me as a keynote speaker?
Because GEO takes explaining, especially to a leadership audience. I make it land: why search is changing for the first time in 20 years, what that does to brands, and what to do about it this quarter. No hype, just context with a business case attached.
I make a big, messy shift feel simple and worth getting excited about. That's what conference stages and leadership teams facing AI transformation need.
Talk topics
- Be the answer AI gives. How brands earn AI visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI.
- Corporate blogging x GEO. How strong content gets cited in AI answers (covered at Corporate Influencer Day 2026 in Berlin, among others).
- The end of the ten blue links. How AI search rewrites the customer journey, and what marketing does next.
- Expertise over "AI slop." Why original, well-edited work is the only competitive advantage that lasts in the AI era (the subject of my rock&stars podcast episode).
- GEO for decision-makers. The strategic picture for executives and boards, and why GEO is a leadership priority in 2026.
I match the topic and the depth to your audience and format.
More than a keynote
Talks are one way in. I also bring GEO and AI to the studio and the trade press.
- Panel discussions. The panelist who puts complex AI in plain, pointed terms.
- Moderating. Hosting panels and discussions on GEO, AI search, and content.
- Podcasts & interviews. As an expert guest on podcasts and a source for trade articles and white papers.
- Ask-me-anything sessions. Open Q&A where teams and communities put their GEO and AI questions straight to me.
My own podcast: Taking Care of Content
I host "Taking Care of Content," a podcast about content, AI, and where communication is headed. My own show, not a one-time guest spot.

For executives and boards, I run confidential 1:1 sessions. Not a lecture. A sounding board: Where does the company stand in AI search? Which calls have to be made this year? Where's the risk, and where's the first-mover advantage?
The value is the outside view. I pressure-test how your brand shows up in AI answer engines and translate what I find into decisions that fit your business.
Why book me? Stage, newsroom, and daily GEO work
I don't just talk about GEO. I do it with clients every day, from enterprises like Salesforce to midsize companies. Behind that sit 20 years in editorial and content, 17 of them as a brand copywriter, which is where I learned to hold a room and make hard things clear. You can hear that mix of editorial craft, marketing practice, and current GEO work in every talk.
As a published author and the writer of the first German-language LinkedIn newsletter about GEO, I stay close to the questions companies are wrestling with right now.
